To Kick And Win At The End, Try Beta Alanine Supplement
Some
prior studies had shown that bela alanine could improve performance in
60 to 120-second sprints, so Dutch researchers decided to see if it
would help endurance cyclists who needed a sprint at the end of a long
effort (an hour and 50 minutes). In a double-blinded study with
experienced cyclists, the beta alanine improved performance in a
10-minute time-trial after the long ride. Conclusion: The supplement
could "significantly enhance sprint performance at the end of an
exhaustive endurance" effort. Source: Medicine And Science In Sport And

The Forbidden Fruit That's Good For Your Bone HealthThey
used to be called "prunes," but not any more, at least not in the U.S.
Here they're now "dried plums"--which is apparently more political
correct or at least easier for the marketers to sell. At any rate,
prunes or dried plums or whatever you want to call them are great for
bone health. Indeed, Florida state researchers believe them the most
effective fruit for not just protecting bone health, but even for
reversing bone losses. Source: Aging Research Reviews. More

High Fiber Consumption Associated With Low C-Reactive ProteinA
number of recent heart-disease studies have pointed to C-Reactive
Protein (CRP), an inflammation marker, as a potential culprit in much
heart disease. In this new review, South African researchers wondered
if there was an connection between fiber intake in the diet and CRP.
They found that there was a relationship, and it was inverse. The more
the fiber you consume, the lower your CRP. Source: European Journal Of

Missed ZZZs Could Lead To Diabetes Onset
Mom always said that we should get 8 hours of sleep a night, but she
wasn't much for presenting evidence to back her position. But in recent
years, the evidence has been mounting. Insufficient sleep can cause
everything from obesity to depression, heart disease and cancer. Now
there's a new one. Adults who get fewer than 6.5 hours of sleep a night
have a 4.5 times greater chance to develop abnormal blood sugar levels
that can lead to diabetes.Source: Conference On Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology And Prevention. More
